To me, summer officially begins at the moment I dive into the pool. I spend a big chunk of my summer time in swimsuits, from pool to the beach, from LA to all around the world. Swimsuits are therefore considered an essensial part of my summer wardrobe.

Leopard print

I don’t wear leopard prints very often but in the summer I like to spice it up with bolder prints and color. Leopard prints make a great statement swimsuit; they are fun, edgy and sexy. I wore this ="http://bit. ly/2YEefh3" class="external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LPA Leopard print one piece (sold out but similar ="http://bit. ly/2YFQo0o" class="external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here) to the pool in Brazil. If you want to try leopard prints this summer, start out with these swimsuits.

One piece

I love one-piece swimsuits not only because they hide the evidence that I didn’t go to the gym for 2 months, but also because they can be worn as bodysuits. I would wear a pair of wide-leg trousers on top of one of these one-piece swimsuits to a pool party or a beach day with friends.

High-waisted

High-waisted bikinis are chic girls’ go-to option in the summer. The high-waisted bottoms are very flattering on the body.
